Homes in Olmos Park are predominantly 1920s and 1930s construction, and that date range is the single best predictor of what is behind the drywall. Late-seventies and eighties construction here often still carries polybutylene; pre-1960 houses frequently run galvanized.
The issue we run into most in Olmos Park is original cast-iron drain lines that have corroded from the inside out. Failing supply lines do not announce themselves politely — they leak behind a wall, inside a slab, or above a ceiling, and the repair bill follows the water.
We walk the house, find the pipe material at the water heater and under sinks, and put the scope in writing before quoting. No repipe should be priced from the driveway.
